Embracing diversity
Kantar’s Empowering Growth for Women (EGFW) programme, set up in 2018, helps high potential senior women navigate their career and creates a sense of community amongst female leaders around the world through shared experiences and a sense of belonging.
It provides the opportunity to learn from the journeys of other senior leaders and identify areas of development that can be supported through formal mentoring partnerships.
120+ high potential women from around the globe participated in 2020 with a really positive response to mentoring and a schedule of online training webinars.
In addition to the EGFW programme, in South Asia, a ‘Balance for Better’ initiative has been running to help to connect female employees within Operations. The initiative aims to create a safe space to break down stereotypes and provide mentoring and coaching to young female leaders.
